Outward Adapter

Mounting of the exhaust pipe
• Using only the hose provided, screw unit adapter to exhaust hose then clip the unit adaptor to the back of the air conditioner.
• Avoid kinks and bends in the exhaust hose as this will cause expelled moist air to build up causing the
unit to overheat and shut down. (Fig 8 & 9 show correct position).
NOTE: For best results do not exceed a 45º angle.( Fig 10)
• The hose may be extended from 1-5 ft /300mm -1500mm but for maximum efficiency use the shortest straightest length possible.
It is not recommended to exceed 5 feet for this will diminish the efficiency of the unit. See WARNING Figure 11
6
WARNING
The length of the exhaust pipe is specially designed according to the
specification of this product. Do not replace or lengthen it with your own
hose as this will cause the unit to malfunction.

NOTE: 1. To lenghten the compressor's life, after turning off the unit, please wait at
least 3 minutes before turning it back on.
2. The cooling system will switch off if the ambient temperature is lower than the set one. The ventilation, however, keeps working at the
set level. If the ambient temperature rises above the selected level, the cooling function will resume.
3. On the contrary, the heat will switch off if the ambient temperature is HIGHER than the set one (still, the ventilation keeps working at
the set level). As the ambient temperature drops below the selected level, the heating fu nction will reume.
4. This machine is equipped with ANTI-FROST function. While using the heating function in low temperatures, sometimes the heat will
stop for a while in order to melt the frost. As this occurs, just wait for the heating function to resume.
DRAINAGE
Although the unit is self evaporating, during high humidity levels excess water may fill the internal water tray. Depending on how high the humidity
and the duration of high humidity levels will depend on how often the unit needs to be drained. When the reservoir full :
a. For the mechanical model, the compressor will stop, only the fan ill continue to circulate the air. The 'FULL WATER' indicator will light up.
b. For the electronic model, both of the compressor and motor will stop. The COMP. indicator light will flash.
To resume the cooling function, empty the water by the following steps:
1. Turn off the air conditioner and avoid moving it when full.
2. Position the water tray underneath the drain hole.
3. Remove the drain knob & rubber plug from the drain hole and allow the water to
drain out.
4. When the water tray is almost full, replace the rubber plug in the drain hole and
empty the water tray.
5. Repeat until the unit is emptied.
6. Replace the rubber plug and tighten the drain knob firmly.
7. Turn on the unit - the comp light should not be flashing.

If you wish to operate the unit without the need to empty the water tank, please:
• Remove the drain knob and rubber plug and retain for future use.
• Connect the drain tube supplied to the water outlet as shown and locate
the other end into a drain.
• The drain tube may be extended by adding an extension tube and using a
suitable connector.
Please note
1. The drain must be at or below the outlet level.
2. Flashing comp / 'full water' indicator will not function in this mode of drainage.
3. If you want to extend the water tube, you can connect it with another tube
(OD: .7" / 18mm)
Caution for heating function:
While using the heating function, please note:
1. In heat mode the exhaust MUST be exhausted to the outside just as in air conditioning
mode. The unit works in reverse of air conditioning mode with the warm air out the front
and cold air is exhausted out the back.
2. Fix the drainage to be a continuous one (i.e. drain the water by water tube).
3. Working range for heating function is 41o- 80.6 oF (5o- 27oC) and for the cooling
function, it is 64o- 89 oF (18o- 32 oC). For temperatures outside of this range, the
unit will not work properly.
